I A NEWSY LETTER j
f FROM LAKE CITY.
1 QUAINT AND CURIOUS COIN- OUR
CORRESPONDENT GIVES THANHS- j
VARIOUS AND ALL ABOUT.
Lake City, December 7:?Drj
H L Baker came up from Lam- i
berts Friday on business.
Rev L N Chappelle left Mon- j
day for Anderson ^o attend the j
.Baptist state convention.
Mr S M Askins has a copper
coin that quite a curiosity. On i
one side is the inscription!
"Skilling i 18 67,'' with two
crossed mallets between the
"18" and the "67". On the reverse
are the symbols "Cl"
and "XV," with a shield showing
a lion between these symbols.
The first word alone is
"Skilling" plainly, and* not
"shilling" as one might suppose.
We would be glad of
? * it-.'.
any ugnt on mis cum, wijicu,
to ns, at any rate, is curious.
Rev W L Waite has gone to
the annual session of the S C
Methodist Conference at Abbeville.
Mr 0 S Baldwin, who was at
school at Falcon, N C., has
been forced by ill health to
return to his home at Camp
Branch.
Most folks observed the 25th
of November as Thanksgiving
f' day, but last Saturday was the
Thanksgiving day of this correspondent.
Several of those
i who wish us well remembered
hus on that day. Our good
friend, Mr James Yarborough,
from out on Lynch's river, presented
us with some jack tish
and a bucket of eggs. The fish
were of such size that one
t made a beautiful supper for five
^ fish eaters, and it were superfluous
to say anything as to the
If flavor to any one who has
I ever eaten a Lynch's river
jack in the late fall. The
eggs?nearly two dozen in
number?were fresh, yard eggs;
and in these days when eggs
are among the most high-priced
and indispensible of foods, few
, gifts are more pleasing. Mr H
N Merritt furnished the vegetables
for our feast in some of
those turnips , of which he has
the equal in size and the superior
in tenderness and flavor
of any we have ever seen, even
* in this county. Then some
/ other neighbors sent us in
' liver pudding, sausages, backbone,
butter-milk and sugar
* cane. And we also had a
squirrel and some birds, quails.
Was not all this sufficient
food for a Thanksgiving feast
and sufficient reason for a
T'Kiw'UeoriiMncr CP.1?nn9 And We
fAUUUA^^i v _
feasted, too, and had tight
clothing and "Simmon's liver
regulator.'' Editor Wolfe last
-?^?syeek said he had promises of
I a^mess of birds. Well, he got
J the promises, but we got the
| birds, which, according to our
I way of thinking, puts us ahead
I in the game. (It surely does,
in the game line?Ed The Record).
Dr. A H Williams and W L
^BBass, Esq., and Messrs D 6

VV Gaskins spent Monday in
Florence.
The infant of Mr and Mrs S W
Gowdy died on Wednesday of
PR fast week after an illness of sevF
eral weeks.
I Messrs J S McOlam and 0 T
I Hall have returned home from a
I visit of ten days in the middle
I West. They visited Nashville,
I Louisville, Paducah, St. Louis,
I Memphis and other places of in
terest and importance. Col |
Hall says it was the finest tripj
he ever* had and that Mr Mc-i
Clam ^s the best fellow in the J
world to travel with. "Come!
in thar, boys."
Wonder who was the young j
follow that, while at the iesti- j
val Friday night was so seized ;
wifh .1 lonfinc" for his girl, he
" --- - " i
gathered up all the candies, |
fiuits and other dainties he!
could lay his hands on, and i
slinking in the darkness, went!
to her home and sneaked in the?
dining room, where they met, j
and ate sweetmeats and talked
sweet things. Wonder, too, how '
she knew he would come in at!
the back-door?
Dr J D Whitehead is heie from j
Augusta on a visit. The Doc-1
tor has lots of friends here, all j
of whom were glad to see him.
Mr D H McDaniel says that
it was Dr H L Baker who treated
Mr Lexas Lawrence and not
Dr Eaddy, as stated by this
writer last week. The statment
was made on information given
by a reliable neighbor and
thought to be correct

FREIGHT WRECK AT CADES.
One Train Side Swiped by Aooiber
While Entering Switch.
Florence, December 5:?There
was quite a bad freight wreck
at Cades, thirty miles south of
Florence on the northeastern
division of the Coast Line, at:
6 o'clock this morning, in which!
an extra freight going south1
was side-swiped by the engine j
of north bound through freight j
No 212. Engineers Gramling and j
Wells were at the throttles, and
Conductors Dennis and Lamb
in charge of the trains. Extra
south-bound freight was pulling
in the switch on the pass track
when No 212 struck it, and the
engine of No 212 was derailed
and turned broadside" in the
ditch. Immediately after the
collision the wreckage took fire
from one of the locomotives and
the box cars and one engine
were burned and damaged by
the flames. The only person
hurt was John Carr, one of the
firemen, and he only slightly.
All trains, north and south, today
have been detoured over the j
Central and W C & A, via Lanes j
and Sumter. The wreck will j
* * . . i.i I
De cleared in time ior tne even-:
ing trains to pass. There was
a very dense fog prevailing at
the time of the wreck, and it is
attributable to this that the two
trains crashed.
Ad Incipient Blaze.
Friday night, between 10 and
11 o'clock Young's "Ice Cream
Palace" was discovered to be
on tire. The alarm was given
and the new chemical engine
had the first opportunity tor a
practical demonstration of its
* j m? _ _
capaointy. xne new engine
worked excellently well and
soon extinguished a blaze that
might have resulted in a serious
conflagration.
"Our Pet" brought up in the
rear ready to rush into the breach
should the efforts ot the chemical
prove futile. It makes the
town feel safe to have such
heavy artillery as the "Pet"
to rely on m case of a real
emergency.
The cause of the tire is not
definitely known. The damage
will amount to several hundred
dollars, covered by insurance,

TOWN TOPICS
AT ANDREWS.
DEATH OF A VETERAN?A BUMPTIOUS
NEGRO "REGUUTED"?NEW
ENTERPRISES.
Harpers, December 6:?Auother
old Confederate soldier has been
called to his reward. Mr Roberts
Tisdale, of our town, died Saturday,
Dumber A, and was laid to rest
in ^metery at Johnson's Swamp
Bap. lurch on Suuuay following.
Mr. Tisdale was a Confederate veteran,
having served in General M U
Butler's brigade, 4th South Carolina
regiment of cavalry, the same company
in which the father of the
writer served. All who gave service
to the Confederate States under the
leadership of General Butler know
the bloody battles that were fought
in the numerous campaigns of this
gallant chieftain.
Mr Tisdale was born and reared
in Williamsbnrg county. He leaves
a host of friends and relatives to
mourn his death. His sister, Mrs
G P Nelson of Kingstree, and two
brothers who lived in the Central
church neighborhood, preceded him
in death only a few months, fie is
survived by a widow and two children,
namely, Mr Grover Tisdale, of
this town, and Mrs EW Henderson,
now of Marion.
Ritt Washington, the negro of
whom mention was made in this correspondence
some days ago as having
a difficulty with Mr T A McCants
at the Harpers Gin Co?s gin house,
was caught last Monday evening by
an unknown crowd of men and severely
whipped and ordered to leave
the community; but the negro is still
in town. We fear serious tiouble
will grow out of the affair. The
negro is not wholly tc blame in the
matter, however. W m a town
conncil speedily punishe. that kind
of crimes our citizen always
satisfied, but tnis case uidggeu 011
and was never heard or the culprit
punished and now see the result.
The people have taken the law in
their own hands. I hope this will
end the matter, but fear that it
will not unless this ex-convict leaves
this community. This is the rirst
time such an occurrence has ever
taken place in this town.
Mr. Jack Parsons, of the Suttons
section, was noted on our streets
Saturday. Mr. Parsons was born
and grew up in this neighborhood,
but for a number of years has made
Suttons his home.
Mr W 0 Camlin,of the vicinity of
Bloomingvale, recently suffered the
misfortune of having his infant
child badly scalded by the child's
turning over on itself a kettle of
boiling water.
We haie had another business enterprise
opened up in West End of
town, that of M E Brockinton &
Co. It seems that West End has
taken on new life since the two
towns have joined hands. We now
have eight 6tores and one sewing machine
and plock store and repair
shop, and a general hardware store
is expected to open here by January
1 of the new year. The old Harpers
end of town mn6t and will grow and
develop.
The people of this town will have
a "Farmers' Bally" day here on
January 26, 1910. We expect to
invite good speakers and" have addresses
on the subject of tobacco and
truck-raising and diversified farming.
We hope the entire lower part of
Williamsburg county will join in
with our town, also this part of
Georgetown county, and make this
effort on the part of our farmers a
grand success. Diversified farming
deep plowing, better fertilizing and
better cultivation, tobacco and trackraising
will be the slogan of the day.
The writer asks the aid and co-operation
of this entire community and
the co-operation of the editor of
The County Record.

EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING.
Varied aod Interesting Musical and
Literary Programme Rendered !
The first literary meetimg of j
i the Epworth league was held j
Monday evening at the residence
of Mrs Alec Gordon.
Mrs W A Fairy, the vice presideut
of this department of the
league work, had a very in-j
teresting and enjoyable pro- j
gramme arranged.
Vlic^^c tlrar<? Van Kenren. i
Alice Stackley and Maud J
Baker each entertained with
an instrumental solo. A duet
was very sweetly sung by
Misses Roberta Coker and
Grace Van Keuren. There was
a reading by Miss Coker and;
Mrs W A Fairy, with the ease |
and grace which characterize
all of her recitations, delighted
all with two pretty selections.
The principal feature of the
programme was the debate, the
query of which was: Resolved,
That Commander Robert E
Peary is the only discoverer of
the North Pole. Two of the
debaters were absent, but as
the subject of discussion was
one of such interest to all, it
was decided to have the de- ;
bate with the two who were
nresent. Prof Groves Colbert
mt
was on the negative and Mrs
W A Fairy on the affirmative.
The ability with which each debater
presented his or her side
of the query showed a tho*
rough knowledge of the subject
under discussion. Not only J
was it instructive, but also |
humorous, and one and all pro- I
nounced it most interesting
and enjoyable. ^
Messrs Raymond Speigner,
Wesley Cook and B E Clarkson : *
were chosen as judges to de-!^
cide as to the winner of the|]
debate. In announcing the |
decision of the judges, Mr
Speigner pleased all with hisjj,
ready wit and interesting and rj
appropriate words with which
his speech was expressed. I
They resetted that 110 de-1
cision could be reached, but,
as they could not agree, the de- j,
cision would have to rest until !
another committee was ap- ?
pointed. j;
Light refreshments ot choco-|5
late and nabiscos were served, j?
with which the evening closed. 5
A most pleasant evening was:!
spent. by all and the desire ex* jJ
pressed that the literary meet* !
ings be regularly held in the J!
future. |!
